Misunderstanding of studying in Malaysia

# Studying in Malaysia # Introduction As a country with low cost of studying abroad and adopting the British education system, Malaysia is more loved by international students. The following is a common misunderstanding of studying in Malaysia. Welcome to read the reference!

1. Misunderstanding of studying in Malaysia

1, the teaching quality is low, and there are many rotten universities.

This is many people's initial impression of studying in Malaysia. But in fact, the teaching quality of most Malaysian universities is recognized at home and abroad, and diplomas can also be recognized. Graduates can enjoy employment, settlement policy and other benefits after returning to China. Not everyone thinks it is a bad university.

In addition, the Malaysian government treats education very strictly. There is an organization called Malaysian Academic Accreditation Service (MQA), which is responsible for evaluating the quality of education and adopting a quality standard management system to ensure high-quality teaching quality.

Compared with national universities, private universities in Malaysia have lower application threshold and less difficulty, but this does not mean that they can "lie down until graduation" when they go to private universities. The teaching level of many private universities in Malaysia is comparable to that of foreign countries, and those who want to "mix degrees" may not graduate.

2. Malaysian public universities do not admit China students.

Just as domestic 985, 2 1 1 universities will recruit foreign students from China, Malaysian public universities will also recruit China students. However, the proportion of international students enrolled by Malaysian public universities is usually lower than that of private universities, and it is relatively more difficult to apply for public universities with top rankings.

Therefore, some students and parents think that "Malaysian public universities do not recruit China students".

3. Private universities are not good.

Influenced by the domestic education system, many people think that public universities are better, but this understanding is often one-sided. Because the level of a school mainly depends on the teaching provided by the school and the corresponding educational resources in all aspects.

In Malaysia, teachers in private universities are usually not worse than those in public universities, sometimes even better than those in public universities, and the teaching resources and accommodation environment are not too bad.

This is because local private colleges are supported by big consortia, and their teachers and facilities are backed by big education groups or consortia, which are no less than public schools, and even some private colleges have a higher level of internationalization.

4. Teaching here is in Malay.

Malaysia is a multicultural country, and Malay and English are its official languages. Moreover, as far as the education system is concerned, Malaysia has been continuing the education model of Commonwealth countries, and international students need to provide IELTS scores or study through English courses when they enter school.

Although some local national universities use Malay frequently, teachers teach in English, private universities 100% teach in English, and daily communication on campus is mostly in English, so you don't have to worry too much about studying in Malaysia, so you need to take Malay as an elective.

5. You must have IELTS scores to apply.

Studying in Malaysia does have certain requirements for language scores, but it is not impossible to apply without language scores. Most colleges and universities can have no language scores. After successfully applying for the conditional admission notice, you can get the corresponding language scores within the specified time according to the requirements of the school.

Moreover, most universities in Malaysia offer language courses. Even if you have no language grades, you can enter the intensive English class at school first, and then go to the professional class.

However, students need to pay attention to the fact that they need to obtain corresponding language scores before they can enter professional courses. Therefore, students also need to measure the time and cost of learning language courses and make appropriate choices when submitting language scores.

3. Interpretation of Malaysia's application skills for studying abroad

First, the application materials should be standardized.

"Materials for studying in Malaysia, such as notarial certificate, passport, photos, etc. It looks very simple. We still have many problems when dealing with student information. " Malaysian study abroad experts said.

For example, a notarial certificate requires students to show full marks. For example, some students have a perfect score of 100, and some students have a perfect score of 120. Due to the different situations in different regions of China, students often need to return to rework without showing full marks, which not only wastes time, but also delays the process of student application. For example, in terms of photos, some colleges and universities require a blue background, while others require a white background. In terms of quantity, students should follow the requirements carefully and don't cause unnecessary trouble.

Second, time should be early, not late.

Some students want to join the class as soon as possible, thinking that submitting the materials to our representative office of Malaysia United Education School will be a complete success. We have been telling students that the whole application process is generally two months, and the time for individual schools is longer, including the time for schools to review student materials, the time for schools to send notices, the time for immigration authorities to sign letters, and the time for immigration authorities to apply for visas. The way for students to enter the class as soon as possible is to give them enough time in all aspects and make good preparations in all aspects.

Third, don't forget the application fee.

In previous applications, there were many examples of forgetting to pay the application fee. The student said that my notice had not been countersigned. Actually, my application fee for international students has not been paid yet. How does the school send a notice? Naturally, there is no countersign letter. Malaysian schools charge international students a unified application fee. The expenses mainly include the school's audit materials, the counter-signing letter issued by the immigration bureau, the notice issued by the school, and the airport pick-up (students can only leave the airport if the teacher picks up the plane).

Fourth, you can leave two contact information.

Contact with students is usually notified by telephone, but some phones can't be contacted for various special reasons, so it will be much more convenient if students have the choice of a second phone, which is also conducive to the timely transmission of information.

4. Pay attention to common sense when studying in Malaysia.

1, entry requirements

To study in Malaysia, international students need to apply for an international student visa in Malaysia. Only by holding a student visa and a national passport can you enter the country smoothly.

2. Admission procedures

Royal Malaysian Customs stipulates that foreigners should take preventive measures before entering Malaysia if they come from areas where various infectious diseases are prevalent. As for the duty-free items that can be brought into the country, the Royal Malaysian Customs stipulates that international students can bring 225g tobacco or cigars, 200 cigarettes or alcoholic products1L.

3. Exchange

Currency exchange in Malaysia is very convenient. International students can exchange money at major banks or authorized money dealers. If they bring traveler's checks, they can also ask the bank to change them into ringgit, but they need to show their passports when changing them. If international students travel or study in remote areas of Malaysia, they need to change money in advance.

Step 4 tip habits

Malaysians, like China people, are not used to tipping waiters. This is mainly because hotels or restaurants in Malaysia usually charge 65,438+00% of the guest's consumption directly as a service charge. If individual consumption places clearly indicate that extra service fees need to be paid, international students can tip the waiter 65,438+00%. As for the objects of tipping, they are mainly hotel service personnel and porters, while doormen and drivers rarely need to tip.
